Sorry to bother you with this but could you do something about CurtainShipping? I'm asking you because no one's responding on the talk page. I really feel the page has no importance here and it should be deleted. Could you please check the talk page on the comments made. Jmath 18:20, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so. There are plenty of shippings that have less info, such as FarawayShipping, that exist. This page is better than some of the other pages created. I say it stays. --ケンジのガール 22:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Making a Category

How do I make a Category for pages that need to exist for a certain area?--☆Coolピカチュウ! 01:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

You have to put Category:Name of category in the search box. To add pages to it, go to the page you want to add and put [[Category:Name of category]] in it. --ケンジのガール 01:26, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

What if the page(s) is not created yet?--☆Coolピカチュウ! 01:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Well what exactly are you trying to make a category for? --ケンジのガール 01:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Sounds dumb but I wanna make a category for pages of the Manga that need to be made (I.E.:Chapters of the P.S)--☆Coolピカチュウ! 01:43, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, just make the category first, then make the pages I guess... --ケンジのガール 01:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

That will not work. The pages need to exist in order to have categories, a list would work so much better. MoldyOrange 03:01, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Usage of "Tachi"

You seemed a little confused on the meaning of "tachi" when editing Ash's friends. The narrator would not use "Satoshi-tachi" if he was only talking about Ash, he would use it when talking about Ash and his companions together. So, Ash and friends together would be "Satoshi-tachi" in the Japanese version. It is incorrect when only talking about Ash's friends and not him, yes, but it doesn't mean Ash alone.

Triathalon Pokémon

Should we put them as Temporary for the characters?--KukiTalk 18:25, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Remember the rules? No adding Pokémon until the episode airs. --ケンジのガール 18:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Then I hand the responsibility over to you, basically nominating you for the job. I will be on a trip from Sunday-Friday, w/ no computer access--KukiTalk 18:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

"Sui" in Sweet

Come on, can't the writers use two puns in one name? Even though the name means "sweet", it still contains Sui, just like Sorao cointains Sora and Umio contains Umi. It's a double pun. That's why I hate the so-called "English Romaji". It simply kills the intended meaning of names. Same goes for Alberto/Berobelt. --Maxim 19:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Huh?

Ugh...

I don't know what the hell I've done. Baby G archived Talk:Main Page the wrong way, so the revision history wasn't moved with it. I tried to fix it and ended up making the problem worse, by accidentally moving the other MP archives as well, and failed at moving the revision history. Can you help? :P --ニョロトノ666 22:18, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

slaps forehead* Isn't it obvious...? THE'RE RELATED. Volbeat and Manaphy ARE NOT part of the same family. That's why. --And I don't know who said that with Eruption but Blaze Kick was Blaziken's sig move BEFORE Gen IV. ケンジのガール 19:59, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Did you not read a word I said? I put down that it was Volbeat's move BEFORE Gen IV. We did the same damn thing for a bunch of the other Pokémon. Manaphy isn't a special exception. Anyway I protect the page until you get it through your head. --ケンジのガール 20:04, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

The other one sucked that's why. Go find a better one and I'll put it up. I'm so sick of users fighting over stupid pictures. Why can't they do a job that hasn't been done yet? --ケンジのガール 20:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Baby G, why dont you leave editing the project to the edit obsessed people, or stick around to use User talk: like i do, it just ends ends in countless arguments. Im not saying this about KUKI, hes a nice guy or you or Kenj Hirl, but there are some people on here who live for an argument. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010 22:30, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me? Kenji-"Hirl"? For your sake I hope that was a typo. --ケンジのガール 22:34, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Misty

Why are there befriended Pokemon on her page? I thought that all characters should NOT, with the exception of Max...so is it just a mistake, or is there a reason? I was just wondering because this was also a reason why Missingno. Master added befriended Pokemon on Ash's page, (Well, that's at least what he said} and causing it to be protected. I would also like you to take a look at TTEchidna's talk page,under the title of "Protected?".--☆Tavisource 00:10, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Platinum

Just a reminder, next week, when Platinum comes out, we must redo all the alt. sprites. You work on yours, TC26 will work on his, and I'll work on mine. Good Luck!--☆Tavisource 00:42, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, TTE is making a system on animated png.s, so don't do anything yet until he says so. MoldyOrange 01:36, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

We must split up the work. Below is the list we must follow if we are going to be successful. We don't wan multiple people doing the same sprite. Of course, we must use the animation template for the sprites, so it would be a little MORE challenging. I tried to split everything up evenly; if there's anything that you think is wrong, just tell me. But anyways, good luck!--☆Tavisource 03:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

So wait, all the sprites will be animated? I think maybe we should just leave the sprites for the characters alone. Won't having that many animated sprites crash Bulbapedia? --ケンジのガール 03:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

All sprites that animate will be animated now, (according to TTEchidna). But since we have decided that alt sprites should stay, I don't see why we couldn't add a bit more. Just ask the other admins.--☆Tavisource 23:18, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

That was a abuse of power

That was an abuse of power and uncalled for. Yami 00:02, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Admins have a responsibility to prevent edit wars. Address the points we brought up on the talk page, and if you can convince her, she'll allow you to add it again. --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 00:04, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Well she was apart of this dispute so she isn't suspose to get involved as it is a conflict of interest. Another non involved admin should have been contacted. Yami 00:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

And you shouldn't go against what an admin says. Why don't you wait until more people have a say in this? So far the vote is 2 against one. I'll unprotect it if you won't do it again. And were not going to bother other admins over something this stupid. --ケンジのガール 00:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

You're acting in a very uncivil and unadmin like way. Regardless of how stupid you think something is you have to follow the rules like everyone else. I did the Japanese thing and everything like you mentioned and if its so stupid why ae you making such a big deal out of it weather or not it should be added that her alternative name is May Birch? Yami 00:13, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

As TTE said, we don't mention Blue as Blue Oak. Why do we have to make an exception for May. And I didn't even see you make an attempt for Brendan so why are you only focused on her? And don't preach to me about being a rule follower. I gave you a good explanation to why we shouldn't do it and you ignored me and did it anyway. --ケンジのガール 00:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

1. Why would you protect that article's talk page

2. I wanted to wait and see how the May article went first that way you or Martonimos didn't come for the rid to get the same dispute started on two pages.

3. That still doesn't excuse tyou from breakign the rules by protecting a page yuor involved with.

4. I also took care of all the criteria that you asked for. I did the Japanese name thing just like you mentioned and everything.Yami 00:20, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't the one who protected the talk page. TTE did because he wanted to comment without edit conficts (that would probably qualify as an abuse of power). If you have a problem with it go yell at him.

When an admin tells you not to do it, you should listen.

I protected the page to prevent an edit war. That is not against the rules.

I didn't ask for anything. I just said we'd have to mess with them and then you said we shouldn't bother with the Japanese names then I said why should we bother with English name --ケンジのガール 00:26, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

You didn't tell me not to do anything. You still broke the rule with the protecting of the page you were involved in, and why couldn't you simply just said what TTE said instead of getting an attitude and pushing a POV and getting argumentative?

I don't see how you and the other guy could get so argumentative over two extra words that are explained in the article. Common sense would tell you that if in one timeline of the game she is Birch or Odamaki, then she would gain a last name. I don't see how adding this would hurt that article and from what TTE said only up until recently another game character had a last name to them. Yami 00:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

And just because they don't say they have a last name doesn't mean they don't. Besides, May/Brendan doesn't mention their last name, so if it's Birch, okay, but it doesn't need to be in the infobox or in the page title... especially for one who's variably related to the Professor AND the Gym Leader.

Also, I should set off protection bombs for longer... TTEchidna 00:44, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

TTEchidna, this is what I think you should do...maybe instead of protecting the pages, you should block the users that disobey the rules...there's no point in stopping EVERYONE (except for admins) from editing the pages...think about justice...why should the people take punishment for someone else's actions? So what do you say?--☆Tavisource 00:46, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

In the defense of the user who did this, I don't think that's enough to warrant a ban. It wasn't vandalism, simply something that was unwanted. Too bad there isn't a system to prevent just one user from editing a certain page. --ケンジのガール 00:48, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

One Question, though: What if a Mod was behind the rule breaking? I mean, if it's like on Serebiiforums and Bulbagarden, if a Mod broke rules, they get away with it completely (similar to how the roman emperors/their gods got away with commiting crimes, and yet they punish mortals in the most sadistic way they can punish them?) Weedle Mchairybug 00:52, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah...too bad, but if Yami decides to start an edit war, then he/she should be blocked for causing trouble...just give it a test...do not protect it at first, and if he/she continues to change it, then you could block HIM/HER for putting stuff like that on there...it's pretty much like what Ph34 did, but less intense and much more reasonable.--☆Tavisource 00:53, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I definitely don't think that's block-worthy. They may still have things to contribute. Protecting the page forces people to discuss the changes and possibly come to some sort of agreement, rather than just repeatedly hitting "undo." --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 00:56, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

for one thing travis, It wasn't a edit war, and even so that's a warning at best. Also is everyone ignoring that kenji did, even if s/he didn't try to break a rule by protecting a page in which s/he was involved with the dispute. Not to mention the general tone s/he laid down wasn't all that admin like or friendly. Also if you look at the article's history Martonimos undid the simple little addition of or May Birch and said "I agree with kenji this is stupid" not really the best of tones either.

That article is favoring May as the rival, which if you're going do that you might as well put Birch as a last name because of how its written (i'm not saying do it) The article should just simply say 'May is the Female gender choice for the player, and Rival to the Player if s/he chooses to play as Male (Brandon.) Cut and dry to the point and doesn't make it out like she's primarily the rival and secondly the female gender choice.

Another thing is that if you are worried about confusing people who may or may not have common sense, then simply write it in a way that explains it clearly.

Case in point all you have to do is write: "May (japanese symbols Haruka) is the female gender choice for the player, should s/he choose to play as a female. May Birch is the Rival of the player, should s/he chose to play as a male." And just switch it around some for the Brandon article.

The only reason i didn't try to put Brandon Birch on the Brandon article was i didn't want the same hassle i got on the may article on there. What use is it in trying fight two battles at once? Yami 01:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Stop saying we didn't warn you. We did. It was on the talk page. We said not to put it in again and you did it anyway. Again there isn't 100% prove that is her last name. Children sometimes have different last names as their parents. And Bulbapedia isn't about being friendly. It's about laying down the rules and making sure order is present. Quit expecting everyone to be nice to you. If you have a problem with the tones used than this isn't the place for you. BTW, Brendan is his name, not Brandon. --ケンジのガール 01:43, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

point out where you said for me not to add that info. You go from saying "people will get confused Brandon and May are siblings," "we have to make it clear to them," "What about her Japanese name?" to "how do we know that's her name."

You're just being argumentative, unadmin like and abusing your power and fellow editors. Is this how you get your jollies, going around and start nick picking at people's additions like when you nick pick at the trivia i added to Electrode, Eggecute and Eggecutor. Then Seaking, Staryu and Starmie.

Quit expecting people to be nice to me? how about you quit being a pompous little bitch who just is bored and needs to argue just to argue, abuses the power that a site, looked down upon by wikipedia of all places, gave to her/him and trying to push people away from that site.

Was the simple addition of May Birch so horrible that you have to be a total bitch about it? What the hell you want? You want me to prove Birch would be her last name if you don't choose her to play a game 2 games out of date? Yami 02:30, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

It didn't really add much to the article aside from bytes, though. If you wanted to know her last name as the rival, you could assume by her father. While KG needed to cool it a bit around the end there, she is in the right. TTEchidna 03:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

In conclusion, Norman, Birch and May's mom had a threesome and the lady gave birth to twins. Durh. Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links03:17 6 Sep 2008

Thanks for moving it. I realized my mistake just now and was about to move it again.--Diby 07:53, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Something that needs to be fixed

My old account is Babyg, which I can't get back into because I forgot my password and I have no way of retrieving it. Moldy orange suggested that I edit my old account's talk page so that it becomes an archive and I redirect my old account's talk page to my current account's talk page. However, while archiving, I did it wrong. Instead of creating User talk:Baby G/Archive 1 and copying and pasting the contents of User talk:Babyg to there, I moved User talk:Babyg to User talk:Baby G/Archive 1, so the history of User talk:Babyg was not preserved. Therefore, can you delete User talk:Babyg, move User talk:Baby G/Archive 1 back to User talk:Babyg, and copy and paste User talk:Babyg's contents to User talk:Baby G/Archive 1? Sorry if this is confusing, but using MediaWiki sites can be complicated for me. Baby G 23:44, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Just ignore this, Moldy orange explained on my talk page that I actually did it correctly. Baby G 00:23, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Platinum

When it comes out in 6 days can we add the moving trainer sprites or no?--☆Coolピカチュウ! 06:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Ask TTEchidna. I have no idea. --ケンジのガール 06:24, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay but his talk is protected and said to bug him less.--☆Coolピカチュウ! 06:51, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

It's only protected while he archives. It's set on a timer, the protection will be done before tomorrow rolls around, I'm pretty sure. You can "bug him" then. --Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 07:05, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

As for the answer... well, if you can find said sprites. Filb/PokéWiki will likely have them as soon as they can...

Though I would appreciate if you didn't upload them as .gifs. Send them my way and I can turn them to animated pngs. TTEchidna 18:42, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Missions

Aren't missions banned? If they are, take a look at this then. If they are not, then never mind.--Diby 10:15, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, good find. That mission was made back in early 2007... yes, probably due for a deletion rampage. Only reason it's still around is probably because it's nearly impossible to find it. On that note, how did you manage to stumble across it? --Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 10:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Just found it on the Recent changes page.--Diby 10:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Recent Changes? The last edit to the page was January 2008... you must have been digging way back...

Anyway, there used to be a whole bunch of user-created Missions and minigames. It ended up blowing up into such a big deal that it was lagging the server, and occasionally crashing it; RecentChanges normally had about 75% userspace edits, with only 25% of the edits being mainspace and/or constructive. The end result was a ban on Missions, and limiting on userspace edits. --Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 10:37, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't take it personally when someone doesn't reply to you right away. I'm kinda busy right now... --ケンジのガール 06:21, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't take anything personally, it's just that a user named Tavisource has been ignoring me. I've also been banned from the mario wiki because I was ganged upon by users (one of them being a girl who thinks she's prettier than everyone else).

I understand you are busy. I guess I'll leave you alone... --☆X-Knight☆511♂ 06:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Well I'm not part of Mario Wiki and I don't think I'm prettier than everyone else. Don't worry about it. --ケンジのガール 06:26, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I would never infer that about you. You seem to be doing your job as an adminstrator very well. --☆X-Knight☆511♂ 06:30, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Question

Well, your really good at everything here, so I'd like to ask, how do you make an extra page? Like how you have those "anime name predictions" and stuff. do you just put User:Name/Page Name in the search box and then click "begin article"? did that make sense? --MooitesTalk to me, baby! 06:27, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

That's all there is to it. What else can one do? Jmath 06:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

How are random new users able to block other users? Did they hack into an admin account or something?--☆Tavisource 01:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Despite it being an HM, only Goldeen and Seaking can learn it through leveling up. ht14 09:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Signature moves are moves that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or a family. This excludes all TM's and HM's. That would be like saying Return is Buneary's and Lopunny's signature move even though the move existed long before they did.

Signature moves are moves that can be learned mostly by level up and are only exclusive to a family of Pokémon. At least, that was my definition of a signature move when I created the article. Now people are ruining it by inserting their own opinions on what signature moves are. TMs and HMs CAN'T be signature moves because they can be learn by many different Pokémon. It doesn't matter that one species is able to learn it by level up. It's still not their signature move. --ケンジのガール 09:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Hence the term "signature move" =P. It's not really signature if 100 other Pokémon can learn it through a TM/HM. --ケンジのガール 09:39, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

About signature moves

Goldeen and Seaking are the only Pokémon to learn Waterfall by leveling up. It's true that other Pokémon can learn it through HM07, but signature moves are level up moves that are only learned by one Pokémon or one evolution family. So Waterfall is, and has always been their signature move. --Baby G(talk to me)(see my edits) 19:55, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

That still doesn't make it their signature move. I know that they are the only ones that learn it by level up. That's not what makes a move signature. If it's a TM or HM the move can't be signature because it can be learned by many different Pokémon. --ケンジのガール 20:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

However, I'm letting this one slide because Waterfall wasn't an HM in GenI. --ケンジのガール 20:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, if TMs and HMs count when it comes to a move being signature or not, they shouldn't even have Waterfall listed for Gen. I, since you can teach Waterfall to a Pokémon in Gen. II and trade it back to Gen. I. --Baby G(talk to me)(see my edits) 23:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Sprites

I'm not sure if you are still going to create altsprites, but before you create any sprites, please read the Alternative Sprite Project section on my User Page CAREFULLY. I had decided that we should organize this for present and future sprites. Thanks for your time.--☆Tavisource 00:59, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry 'bout that, I guess I should've talked to you first, but I didn't think it was right to have a DP sprite on Tracey's page when all sprites should be updated. I spent the whole last night and whole morning today to upload all the sprites...it was long. But anyways, Bulbapdia shares, so it doesn't matter who made what sprite. Right?--☆Tavisource 05:23, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I know but its just that one that's special to me. I don't care if you replace all of the other ones I made. I just want that one to stay. Just give me a minute and I'll make a Platinum version of Tracey's Scyther. --ケンジのガール 05:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Hold on, I got to go, I'll be back in 5-10 min. Kind admin, would you please help me fix the backs? THanks. Also, could you redirect my link to the new scyther? thanks.--☆Tavisource 05:45, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

The link is the same. I can't have both sprites if both of them aren't in use. --ケンジのガール 05:46, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much! How would you like to continue contributing in the project and by creating a Platinum Crystal Onix?--☆Tavisource 05:59, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

That ALWAYS happens to me. Since you're admin, I guess you could add rules to the project.--☆Tavisource 06:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, thanks very much! I think you should add more rules onto the project...you deserve all the privileges to do so. I guess I'll just be standing by and going to bed soon, cuz' it's 11:00 pm over here, and I got class tmr, so talk to you soon, thanks again. God luck!--☆Tavisource 06:08, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Conway as a Super Nerd

As I said, it is as stupid as saying that Francesca is based on St.Performer class from Colosseum. Not every nerdy character has to be based on a Trainer class. --Maxim 18:37, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Well Pokémon Colosseum is a totally different canon from the regular games and the anime. --ケンジのガール 05:53, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd argue that point... but I agree that the trainer classes from Colosseum definitely wouldn't make it to the anime. --Martonimos((Argh|Blargh)) 06:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
